Carol Peett, Managing Director of West Wales Property Finders, said: “Of importance will be the new “Help to Buy” ISA (Individual Savings Account) for first-time buyers, which will mean the government tops up by £50 every £200 saved for a deposit.
“More buyers in the market, particularly at the entry level, will encourage house builders to target this growth sector. It will also mean second-movers and downsizers will be in a better position as there will be more activity in the market.”
